      Hello,
      So for my modem/router I use the Q1000. I would like pfSense to manage everything and the modem just to connect it to the outside world. On my Q1000 there is a option to put it into Transparent Bridge mode. So if I put my Q1000 into Transparent Bridge mode would I need to put in my PPPoE info in my pfSense box?

      Thanks

        Usually yes you must do that.

          That is exactly how you do it.  You will want to make sure you have your username / password for the PPPoE account handy.  I forgot to jot it down before I reconfigured my Q1000 and had to make a call to CentruryLink.  Once I had the login info, it took less than 5 minutes to get everything up and running.

          I've had my Q1000 playing nice with PfSense for quite a while now.  You should be quite happy once it's setup!
